Pegasus AC runners have been
racing in different areas throughout Northern
Ireland over the past month putting in good results and representing the local area well
as always!
Firstly, big congratulations
to Linda Gillen for completing the gruelling Athletics NI 10 Mile Grand Prix series and ending up 2nd Female Open
overall! This result was just reward for committed training over the past year
which has saw Linda improve markedly. Races took place in Limavady, Portaferry,
Ballyclare and finally Armagh. Well done also to Ralph
Thom who also completed the series.
Last week saw the NI and Ulster
Even Age Group Championships take place at the University of Ulster,
Jordanstown. The day also incorporated the Bobby Rea Memorial Cross Country race. Sole Pegasus junior in action (running for Dalriada
School) was Neil Johnston who managed an excellent 10th place out of
the 70 Under 16 competitors. The 5 mile Bobby Rea race saw Jason Wilson and Michael
Henry taking their places in the 86 strong field. Jason achieved 35th
position overall and 6th Under 20 runner while Michael finished 4th Vet 50.
Thanks to all the organising
clubs for their professional staging of these events.
